<p>ResourceBlender Express allows you to backup and restore the whole database to XML format. </p>
<h2>Backing Up</h2>
<p>To backup the database, click <strong>File-&gt;Export-&gt;XML Backup</strong> from ResourceBlender Express or <strong>Backup and Restore</strong> from ResourceBlender for ASP.NET. Individual parts can be excluded from the backup if desired by unchecking the boxes.</p>

<h2>Restoring a Backup</h2>
<p>Click <strong>File-&gt;Import-&gt;XML Backup</strong> from ResourceBlender Express or <strong>Backup and Restore</strong> from ResourceBlender for ASP.NET. If <strong>Clear database before restoring</strong> is checked, all components which are checked and also included in the backup file being restored will be deleted before the file is restored. Items will only be deleted during a backup if the component type is checked <strong>and</strong> the backup file contains components of that type.</p>
<p>It is strongly recommended you backup the database before upgrading to a new version, then restore when the new version is installed. The translation database should also be exported periodically in case of corruption.</p>
